This will be THE challenge for the industry over the next several years: • The challenge of the ‘near’ – no-growth industry outlook, with volatility and risk to downside. Requires added focus to manage cycle risk. • The challenge of the ‘far’ – Multi-decade disruptive secular shift ahead for the automotive industry in the push to vehicle electrification and autonomous driving, and we are barely in the first inning. Yet attention and resource allocation required now, to avoid the risk of becoming a dinosaur. • Margin pressures indicate challenge of balancing the near and far. • Our ‘two clocks’ industry view implies continued challenges to auto stocks over the mid- term. Yet with sentiment on auto stocks currently deeply negative, we see near-term opportunity based on valuation and underlying fundamentals: • Outperform: Ford (F), Aptiv (APTV), American Axle (AXL), BorgWarner, (BWA), Dana (DAN), General Motors (GM) • Neutral: Adient (ADNT), Delphi (DLPH), Lear (LEA), Magna (MGA), Veoneer (VNE) • Underperform: Tesla (TSLA) Dan Levy | 212-325-4617 | [email protected] 3 Industry coverage summary Target Upside/ One Liner Ticker Company Name CS Rating Price Downside Textbook case for the “Two Clocks.” Undergoing concurrent redesign of business profitability alongside longer F Ford Motor Company OUTPERFORM $13 31% term reimagining of business. Yet upside ahead for stock amid early signs of improvement, with more to come. Right balance of the “Two Clocks.” One of the best names in our coverage balancing the ‘near’ (healthy profit GM General Motors Company OUTPERFORM $48 30% stream, improving FCF) with the ‘far’ (near or at the front of AV pack, doubling down on EVs) offering a compelling narrative on both fronts. Exposure to the right products and trends give APTV one of the best growth outlooks in the space. This, combined APTV Aptiv PLC OUTPERFORM $90 15% with strong positioning in balancing the ‘two clocks,’ drives our Outperform rating. American Axle & Amid challenged valuation, AXL stock is attractive given a potential 2H19 inflection in datapoints (best earnings delta AXL OUTPERFORM $15 28% Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. in our coverage), and also due to solid and highly underappreciated FCF generation Underappreciated strategy and narrative – differentiated end market diversity, resilient business model, with solid DAN Dana Incorporated OUTPERFORM $22 23% contribution from M&A.

Yet given our outlook for modest top-line growth and that it may take time for the FCF story to drive a re-rating, we remain on the sidelines for the time being.

Yet given ADNT Adient plc NEUTRAL $24 9% long path to recovery with execution risks on top of cycle risks, we prefer to be on the sidelines.

  • Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade for General Motors Suvs and Trucks Tested and Validated to Perform at Their Best
    Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade for General Motors SUVs and Trucks tested and validated to perform at their best Brembo brake packages for Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Escalade and Escalade ESV exclusively distributed through GM dealers and authorized retailers DETROIT, (October xx, 2019) – Brembo, the world leader and acknowledged innovator of brake technology, together with General Motors Performance Engineering designed, tested and engineered a Performance Brake Upgrade System for the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban and the GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade for on and off-road performance. The Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade System is designed for quiet, consistent operation on the street, as well as dependable and robust stopping when working or towing. Design challenges GM challenged the Brembo team to design a 6-piston caliper that would fit within 20 different wheel profiles, allowing the customer to add this bold 6-Piston Performance Brake Upgrade System in combination with a wide variety of GM production and GM Accessory wheels. In order to achieve this goal, Brembo developed a unique compact fixed aluminum, six-piston caliper. Using a disc significantly larger than production also presented several technical challenges, particularly for cooling, which required several iterations of disc geometry, for both the ventilation and the center bell design. "Production brake systems today are more sophisticated than ever and our Performance Brake Upgrade had to meet the same stringent requirements,"

  • Purpose-Driven Automotive Business Model Is Key to Survival
    Revving the Asian automotive market A purpose-driven exploration of trends and business models Abstract Driven by rapid urbanization, economic prosperity, and a rising population, mobility needs in Asian countries have increased for people and goods. While passenger transport is expected to rise, vehicle ownership remains low. This imbalance has created an enormous opportunity for mobility service providers to capture the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market, primarily dominated by a young population. With their high spending power and interest in value for money, they want to better utilize the time spent on the wheel and monetize their assets such as the vehicle they own. This paper highlights the specific characteristics of APAC automotive trends and how automakers can benefit by building purpose-driven business models. Challenges and opportunities in the APAC automotive market The automotive industry is witnessing disruption, as car owners increasingly question the value of money spent on purchasing an automobile. For a small population in Asia, owning a car may be a matter of pride, but a large proportion looks for a car’s utility. This trend has resulted in reduced car sales and profitability, overcapacity, consolidation, layoffs, and more. It has also affected the supplier ecosystem. To tackle the challenge head-on, car manufacturers in the APAC region are experimenting with a series of new product launches, smart features, connected services, immersive car buying experiences, and new market expansion programs. However, as the results are not too impressive, there is a need to revisit the fundamentals of the current business model with a focus on mobility. Going back to basics requires automotive firms to answer some fundamental questions: • What needs to be moved – people or goods – from point A to B? • How will the asset be designed and what is the end purpose? • If there is movement today, what problem needs to be solved? • Is vehicle ownership necessary? Let us look at how the automotive industry in Asia is addressing these questions.
